    Cue, That 550 is a very nice mandolin! I have admired those a great deal and heard good things! Thanks for sharing it.

    I can't say. I've tried lower and higher dollar instruments but nothing of the same. I wanted a KM-505 because everybody said it was a good instrument but they were out of stock so I got the KM-550. One source said it was only cosmetically different, another said there were different tuners on it as well. I honestly don't know.

    All I can really say, is that when my playing is up to snuff (that's mostly not below, heh), it sounds awesome. Full and round, with a strong bark on chopped chords. My Wegen pick might aid in that also.

    Having said all that, I love it!

    Nice playing! That mandolin has a lovely tone. I have a KM 505, and to my ears they sound pretty similar.

    Thanks, and thanks.

    If anyone wants the backing track, let me know - I recorded it myself the day before.

    Hey, which Wegen do you use? I have been on the M100 which is a little slick to hold and it is maybe a bit too blunt edged?

    I'm playing it like crazy, Ken. I have scratched it quite a bit, but I want to enjoy playing it. This wonderful nitro is easy to mark. Thanks!
